The Timer That Meets All Pinewood Derby Challenges!
Use our timer to build pinewood derby car winning designs.
Searching for the best development tool for your pinewood derby racecar? Check out the 1 Lane Turbo Lite Timer. It helps you fine tune your pinewood car to a winning specification!! There are a lot of sites out there that have great pinecar tips and pinewood derby secrets. The best way to try these out is to try them one at a time and test your car as you make changes. Our 1 Lane Turbo Lite timer will let you take the most advantage of each pinewood derby tip you try.
This timer is great for practice runs on a single lane track during the development stage. Using the timer to see your results, you can modify your car with weights and sanding in order to achieve faster times. This timer has been a big hit for those racers who want a competitive edge before the race begins. Also, some have purchased the timer for such things as science fair projects, experiments, and commercial applications. Raytheon has purchased several units to time missile firing.
You can also use the 1 Lane Turbo Lite with Enterprising Ideas' Software, called DerbyMaster and with GrandPrix Race Manager Software. We sell three different software programs, so you can get everything you need from one place. Click here for more info on this software.
Detailed Information about the 1 Lane Turbo Lite:
This timer is primarily for those who are developing their cars before the race. Its purpose is to help you fine tune your car BEFORE the race so that you can WIN!
Note: If you will sometimes use a track with 2 or more lanes, then you should purchase one of our other Turbo Lite timers for the exact lane specification that you need. The 2 Lane Turbo Lite gives the times and finishing order (when applicable) for either a 1 or 2 lane track. The 8 Lane Turbo Lite works on tracks with 1 to 8 lanes and automatically adjusts to the number of lanes in use. The 1 Lane Turbo Lite can be upgraded later to up to 8 lanes.
